I’ve put it off for as long as possible because replacing a knee is major surgery, and things can go sideways fast. Infection is #1 on my doctor’s list of concerns. Blood clots are #2, and I’ve heard stories of people who had clots travel to their lungs and died before they could get to an emergency room.
Pain is at the top of my list. My knee is now bone on bone, and I can’t limp all the way around a grocery store without packing it in.
